Time Series forecating with multiple independent variables

[Krychol88]

Hi,

I am starting my journey with Data Science and I need you help to move forward.

I have the file with number of sold cars (76 different models) in past 4 years by month in the format: Model, Date, Volume, x1, x2, x3, ...., x89 where x1 to x89 are various costs.

There are missing values in each "x" columns from 6 to 80% and also some missing values in Volume column.

I need to predict the sale number for each model for next 6 months, knowing what will be the x1 to x89 for next 6 months.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Missing data intrapolation : surely there must be some formula that they recommend in the course.
Forecasting: if linear regression will do, eg. matplotlib offers possibilities and wil even make a plot for you.
